Woman Versus Man.

There is growing tendency nowadays for
women TO unsex themselves-that is, to crowd
into occupations which have up to late years
been occupied exclusively by man If women
usurp occupations originally intended for the
other sex, what about the men who are
thrown outl for it is very certain there is not
room for both" This is fallacious popular
idea, The question is misunderstood; women
have not become manly, but men have be
come effeminate. In consequence of all their
time immemorial employments having been
gradually taken from them, women in this
Nineteenth century are absolutely driven tc
seek some outlet for their energies, or neces-
sites, in new lines of work-National Re

SEWER EXTENSION.

A Petition to Fill up the Gap Between
Seventeenth to Nineteenth Streets,
ON Fifth Avenue. Thus Completing
the Sewer From Twenty Fifth to
the Saw Will.
A petition is in circulation along Fifth
avenue, between Seventeenth and Mines
teenth streets named, for the completion
by the city, of; the Fifth avenue sewer
between those streets. There is gap
of few blocks there that should be
closed Not in any way advocating the
undue expenditure of public funds. but
in the interests of the public health, the
ARGUS believes this extension should be
made as soon as possible. The ordinance
for this sewer was passed during Mayor
Reynolds administration. and the few
blocks named left unaccommodated by
reason of the lack of funds, and it has
been the intention of the council to COM
plete IL every year sIuot'

Health Commissioner Craig thus slludes

concerning sewers;

necessity of continuing the main sewer
from Seventeenth to Nineteenth street
Many of the business men in blocks 8

heavy water consumers. The little sewer
they now have is inadequate to carry of
the water they use and pay the city for in
the conduct of their business. the conse>
quence is their cellars and easements are
constantly flooded. They have been wait
ing for this extension some years for re-
lief. 1t is in accordance with the orig

ing the effect Of tree planting upon the
billiards.. The blizzard drives along the
surface of the ground, and it has for ages
upon ages found no tree to halt or veer it.
The settlers on the plains planted trees,
however, and these trees now stand as OBJ
stacles to the full sweep of the ice laden
wind. A few days ago, as a blizzard
swept over the country, passed through
d loosely planted grove of trees cotton
woods, silver naples green ashes, etc.,
and noted with pleasure that among the
trees the violence of the wind was greatly
reduced, and the flakes of snow dropped
lazily to the ground where they rested as
contentedly as il they had fallen upon the
tree covered hills Of New England.

Evolution of writing Paper.

Paper has changed in form considerably
during this century. Fifty years ago
paper in shape like our foolscap was gen
orally used for correspondence. 1t was
folded according to the skill Of the writer
and sealed with sealing wax Then came
the letter size; then commerc ial note. In
America sealing wax has gone out of date.
Not so in Europe. Nothing ever goes out
of date in Europe, il the efforts of artisans
or others interested in its sale can accom-
plish that result. So called seals are seen
in rings and attached to the watch chains
of American gentlemen, but they simply
suggest o disused function, like the rudi-
mentary fins Of some kinds of fish. In
Europe wax with seals in all sorts of in
genious forms, intended for use, are for
sale everywhere in such numbers that ii
is evident their manufacture gives employ.

In The American Art, there is an in
teresting account Of the practice of q new
art in this country, but like most of the
arts, it is nothing more than the revival
Of an art profusely prscticed by the
Greeks, as the remains Of their temples
testify. This art consists in the ability to
apply colors of certain manufacture to
stone, and is called the ''endolithic pro-
cess. To apply color successfully to
stone it must be made to sink below the
surface without spreading. Thcmeans of
accomplishing this has been found and, as
q result, interiors of mcxhlc can be tinted
in myriads of colors II desired. A general
application of tho art to the funercal mar
